Beautiful, comfortable Napa home
Introduction
We've always had family members house sit for us, however, they have gone off to college or moved away:) Someone suggested we try Trusted Housesitters, so we thought we'd give it a try. We live in Napa Valley. My husband grew up here and I grew up in Santa Clara, CA.
Show more...Home & location
Our house is in beautiful Napa Valley. We have a fabulous neighborhood, everyone is friendly and it's very safe. It feels like you are in the country, but the house is close to everything. We are just outside the city limits of Napa, 1 block from the Napa Valley Country Club. We are on a hill so the views are wonderful. You can see Mt. St. Helena. There is a pool and a garden that you could enjoy!
Show more...Responsibilities
We have 1 lab and 2 cats. Our dog will need to be fed twice a day. Once between 6-7:30am and once between 3-4pm We usually excercise her twice a day, either walking her or throwing the ball. She sleeps in our bedroom on her floor cushion. Cats are very self reliant. They have a cat door, self feeder and drink out of the dog bowl outside. Mostly just need to give them lots of pets and cuddles. Water outdoor pots every other day. Bring in the mail every day and take trash cans out on Wed. In the summer, we'd ask that you enjoy the fruits & veggies of our garden and the pool!

We had a great time taking care of Blaze! She has so much love and excitement and positive energy, she is a true joy to be around. She thoroughly enjoys fetching tennis balls in the garden, as well as relaxing on the deck alternating between sunny spots and shade. She accepts belly rubs in any amount :) The house is very comfortable with beautiful views of the area. We really enjoyed spending time outdoors, reading in the shade or cooling off in the pool. Hilary and Kevin were very kind, hospitable, and responsive during their travels! We hope to come back sometime for another sit :)

Well, I'll just top off what other sitters have said -- this sit was DELIGHTFUL! First off, the pets are the sweetest beings on the planet (you can tell they are happy). The home sits just outside of Napa (and all the energy, restaurants, wine bars) yet it feels miles away with vineyards, views, cockadoodling roosters, sunsets and fresh breezes. Hilary was kind, generous and communicative. I miss the furry babies already.

Hilary was great to work with. Easy going, thorough, and responsive. The house is great, quiet, nestled in the hills (but not far from town) with a gorgeous view from the front deck/balcony! Blaze is the star of the show. While the cats are easy (indoor/outdoor), Blaze is a petsitting fave of mine. Sweet and easy, she listens and it was all of three minutes until she wanted a belly rub. If you like tossing a tennis ball she's the one for you. Get out that energy, then crash. I'll be happy to come back again!

I loved everything about this opportunity! Hilary and Kevin are amazing people and so welcoming. The animals, which I call "the crew", are so friendly and loving. Blaze loves chasing ball and belly rubs, if she gets those then she will be you're best friend. Shouka is so cute because he tries to keep up but Blaze is too fast for him haha. I worked at home and Cosmo was sleeping on the chair right by my side most of the time. When she's awake she's super lovey. Chewie, for the most part, did his own thing. He loves being outside, but the last few days he started becoming super friendly. Napa is an adorable town and I'm so happy I got to experience it.
